STORIES OF LIFE IN NEW YORK
Gambler flips Coin for $50,
OOO; Negroes Adopt
New Religion
By RAYMOND C. CARROLL in
Philadelphia Public Ledger
Many persons are born with
"chance" throbbing violently in their
blood; thejr simply have to gamble. It
makes no difference what the game
: mny be. so lung as there is the thrill
of a hazard. In a city of C.O00.U0O
I there must be created outlets for all
; the tarloua qualities of human na
ture. And quite naturally come to
th surface mtn who specialise In the
: mtrchandising of opportunities for
the lovtrs of risk.
Of the more recent products in
that business of supplying the place
and the .game, has been Arnold
Rothsteln. sharp featured, thin fram
ed and soft voiced. In les than a
decade he has rUen from an incon
spicuous position in the tanks of
j East Side stuss' players to the Su
premacy of being called "kins of the
1 gamblers."
i His slender, nerveless fingers have
' reached into must every important
gambling pie. A few days ago he
took the long odds of a laOoO, ten
to one bet on a horse race. He lost
$50,000 and paid. "Let us flip a
coin for the whole stake." suggested
the winner. Rothstem lost his sce
ond $60,000. Yet he went on with
: his dinner as if nothing had hap
! pened. It was only a minor incident
'in his crowded life.
! Itoihslein Is about thirty -five
'years old. He attends strictly to his
"own business, and is adored in his
particular circle of friends.
"God and the Saints" is a new re
ligious denomination that has caught
the fancy of many New York negroes.
Those who Join surrender weekly ten
per cent of their earnings as tithings,
and gradually the members are se
gregating themselves Into separate
buildings. They have a large apart
ment house in Mount Vernon and
several in upper Manhattan.
The women, on attaining the fel
lowship of the new church, become
"Saint Lily," "Saint Mandy" and
"Saint Cleo." and so foritrr and
the men "Saint Thomas Jefferson,"
"Saint Rastus" and "Saint Washing
ton." It is through his song that we best
understand the character and soul of
the negro.
i "Unfortunate.ly," said J. Rosa
jmond Johnson,,4 tho negro composer,
in the offices of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of the
Colored People, "few white people
think a black man's musical aspira
tions surmount jazz. Kxactly half a
century (go this mouth the Fiske
! Jubilee singers went on tour to'ln
jtrodiire to the American public the
j music of their race. Their first step
I was In Obeilin, Ohio, where the coun
icils of the Congregational churches
'were In se.'slon. While the conven
tion was debating - the question
I whether or not the negroes should be
heard, there floated down from the
I gallery in the hall the soft strains of
I 'Steal Away to Jesus.' From that
I moment on the folk songs of the
colored race have had their recog
jnlzed place In American life."
Henry T. Burleigh, a negro, and
for many years soloist at St. George's
Episcopal church. Is a notrd com
poser. Others who have added val
uable contributions to negro music
are Nathaniel Dctt, Carl Diton. Clar
eneo Cameron White, Will Marlon
Cooke and Harlet Gibbs Mar
shall, the first colored woman to he
graduated from tho Oberlin Conser
vatory of Music.
Upon such songs as "Go Down
Moses," "Roll. Jordan. Roll," "I
Want to Be Ready lo Walk In Jeru
salem, Just -Like John," and "My
Lord Delivered Daniel" rests til? cor
nerstone of leifl negro music.
Although the magazine editors
have tabooed war stories, I notice
there is always a craning of necks
whin one who has been overseas dips
Into his bag of anecdotes. Colonel
William Hayward, who commanded
a black regiment raised in New York
city, was talking about the last Ger
man attack In the Champagne. The
circle of auditors at the republican
national headquarters was most at
tentive. "We were not. severely un
der fire at I he time, only the laigost
of the German shells coming Into our
little town," he remarked, "when tit
I French general asked me what 'c
I could do If the German army broke
through the French line to the noitr
of us, and came piling down on lop
of us. I told the general that we
could fight a tear-guard action. Af
ter the general went away, one of
my black boys, who had been stand
ing there stlfly at attention, came
up to me and said, 'Sir, colonel, sir. I
done heard what you tole the French
! general.' "What of It?" I asked.
Well." he said, 'sir, colonel, sir.
there's one thing you didn't tell the
French general we could do thnt I
know we could do.' 'What's that,
my boy?' I questioned. .Came Ihe
answer: 'Why, colonel. If that old
Germany army come piling down on
top of us, what can we do? what ran
we do? I says, sir, colonel, sir, wc
ran spread the news all over
France' "
woman, and It was not until the
relatives of Piatt brought suit
against the negress to recover the
Bine hundred thousand dollar be
had given her in cash that the name
of the h.au who conceived Ihe idea
of a greater New York and drew its
charter was cleared.
Hannah Elias. provided with able
counsel, held her own in the litiga
tion and did not surrender the great
wealth that Piatt had showered upon
her. . The incidents surrounding the
case were highly sensational and
mads exceedingly Interesting read
ing at the time. Her daughter, born
of her previous marriage to a Pull
man car porter, was located In Ph.la
delphia and brought to the steps t
her Gotham mansion. She refused
to see the girl. The Ellas woman
still lives In Hit rily and is oc
casionally seen motoring In the parks.
